2014, Day 15 - Flecked

Midweek fun!  Somehow it was decided that we should have a little racing practice again today.  We had a practice a couple of weeks ago but since it was shortly after I got back from visiting my parents for the holidays I went but Frankie stayed home.  Today he got to come and run hit heart out.  He had such a good time and did quite well although he would have done better if he didn't bounce all over the field but I suppose if you're going to do anything do it with style.

We had some heavy rain over the weekend and the ground isn't anywhere near being dry.  Sadly, if there is another dog in front of you it is inevitable that you'll end up with mud on your face and Frankie's face is flecked in mud.  But where his high leaping running style pays off is that you don't kick muddy water onto your butt so all it took was a washcloth to make him look shiny and new again.  He's tuckered out, when we got home he ate his dinner and put himself to bed and now it is just about my bed time.
